“Such a tranquil setting for this homely cottage loves it so much that I have booked it again for next year now that speaks for itself !”

“I you want a tranquil retreat in Cornwall surrounded by trees where the dawn chorus is amazing, bats to view at night and in the early hours, lots of fields and garden even a small river for your dogs to enjoy and you to listen to the babbling sounds, a lovely stone house, a huge conservatory with large dining table to sit it and enjoy your evening meal, beautiful lounge with perfect tv reception and comfy sofas to relax after a day of busy sightseeing, kitchen with all the equipment you need to prepare your meals, well sized bedrooms with large beds (even the bunk beds !”

) beautiful quality bed linen to get a great nights sleep, bathrooms are just right, the showers are not power ones but do you really want them when on holiday ? the house also smelt and looked fresh and clean, garden a lovely natural look with garden furniture, so sum up if you want a perfect holiday to chill, happy dogs and children, sea and beaches a short drive away, amazing fresh food this is the place for you. ! Well put it this way we had been in a day and booked again for next year !

“Hello, we found the cottage warm and cosy, but had trouble with the two showers.”

The shower over the bath had a feeble flow of water.
The other shower downstairs was impossible to select the water that wasn't too hot to use,
tried adjusting the temperature dial, but could not achieve a cool enough temperature to use.
The biggest disappointment was that the garden described a ENCLOSED was not enclosed securely
to allow dogs to be allowed access without supervision, it was too easy for the dogs to get into the two paddocks
and then off anywhere.

“We were really pleased with the cottage that we stayed at.”

“Had a lovely week at Avallon, the grounds are so peaceful and spacious and the dog and children loved exploring.”

The house was incredibly comfortable and relaxing, we could easily have spent all our time there, but enjoyed a few days out locally.
All in all a great cottage and highly recommend it and will look to rebook for the future.

“It was lovely to see the improvements new furniture, new flooring , new boiler and the improved WiFi all a bonus to a fabulous holiday.”

The cottage continues to be doggie friendly close to amenities and not too secluded will be booking for next year .thank you

“My husband and I have crazy busy lives so going to Avallon once a year keeps us sane.”

The cottage is clean,warm and away from the world ( which we love )
We have 3 GSD's who love it as much as we do ... The land the cottage sits in is perfect for dogs and people alike. It is now our annual break away to recharge and reconnect
Love love love this place .. ❤️

“Perfect. Enjoyed it so much that we have already booked for a fourth year”

Mr BarrettJune 2017

“Very quiet and peaceful.”

The only problem was lack of dog-friendly beaches.

Mrs BuckleyJanuary 2017

“This is our second visit and we will be booking again next year.”

We took three dogs this time plenty of room in a secure garden and fields for them to run.everything available in the cottage that we could need.thank you very much .

“Relaxing Christmas break”

After a busy year we were looking forward to a relaxing Christmas break, visiting old childhood haunt's and coastal walks. Avallon certainly ticked all our boxes and our dog certainly enjoyed playing in the grounds.
The decorated real Christmas tree, flowers and luxury biscuits were a lovely touch.
Avallon felt like a real home from home rather than a holiday let.
Cornwall is so dog friendly, we will certainly be revisiting.

“Beautiful location in 7 acres of private surroundings.”

Lovely property with plenty of room and well equipped. The moment you drive into the long drive and then see the cottage below you feel very special. Easy access to A30 and close to Lands end, Sennen cove, Porthcurno, Penzance and Marazion a superb coastal location. And our 3 Jack russells were well catered for with very dog friendly pubs and cafes nearby. Superb!

Mrs BurfordNovember 2016

“Avallon was just perfect for my husband and I and our 3 German shepherds.”

The cottage was clean, comfy and had everything we could need .. we arrived to flowers and gorgeous cookies .. the place was lovely and warm and very inviting.. and the land that went with it made our holiday

“Charming detached cottage”

A charming detached cottage in a fantastic area for exploring the local areas. I do believe the grounds could be maintained better, as the "7 acres" of fields, are actually left with grass reaching your thighs! No good for hayfever sufferers. Also there are outbuildings at the back with disused items such as a car, greenhouse and various furniture which I believe could lead to a safety issue and slightly detracts the beauty of the cottage. The tiles in upstairs bathroom are loose, and there is a wall in a bedroom where the plaster has blown. I would of thought these items would of been addressed at the start of the season, but never mind. All this aside we would return as the cottage itself is delightful. The posy of flowers and chocolate cookies on arrival, was a lovely touch and we hope to return one day. Our boys 5 & 7 didn't want to leave!!! Thank you for a lovely stay x

“Beautiful cottage...perfect location”

We stayed here from 16th-23rd April. The cottage is absolutely beautiful, set in a peaceful, tranquil location. The rooms are spacious and extremely clean. The tv and wifi reception were a bit hit & miss but it never caused us a problem! The location is brilliant to access Lands End/St Ives/Penzance/Hayle, nowhere is too far away! We enjoyed the beaches at Sennan Cove & Hayle (great for dogs before 1st May). The fields which surround the cottage are fantastic for the dogs & watching any wildlife. We'll definitely be going back...the best cottage we've ever stayed in!

“Excellent Location and Peaceful Setting”

Stayed here 5th-12th March, very easy to find well signposted, first impressions this is a homely place and ourselves and the dogs loved it. Basically we only used one of the double rooms but there is ample space for four more people. Beds were comfy, central heating worked a treat, showers were spot on. Its a central location and we travelled around 450 miles in the week we were there. Had to play around with the wifi password its wrong in the plastic folder but correct in visitors book? If I can I will be back again. Loved it! Didn't see any deer but that's probably our fault!

“Family & Dog Friendly C/W 7Acres”

The house itself isn't perfect but if the 7 acres of land caught your attention then GO FOR IT. You could not want for a better base to explore West Cornwall & although Penzance itself is a bit grotty it does have good shops & facilities. Almost everywhere else is gobsmackingly beautiful & it's all within 1/2hr drive. We had an adventure packed week of flying visits along the coastline with a few inland trips to explore prehistoric monuments and ruined tin mines. The highlight of our week had to be the 7 acres, our dog is still sulking that she cannot run around & roll in the grass off the lead and the grandaughter is really missing the horses. We found the secret cave ! To cap it all off we had a visit from 4x deer at dawn on Thursday.

The property

Penzance 2 miles.

Perfectly located for touring the far west of Cornwall and its outstanding beaches, this spacious, detached house is set in more than seven acres of its own land, just outside Penzance on the road to Land's End.

As you go down the private drive that sweeps down to Avallon House, you get a sense of the privacy and seclusion that this holiday home offers.

With ample space for parking around the house, pull up alongside the conservatory and enter this lovely spacious room overlooking the front gardens, the perfect spot to relax whilst watching the children play outside.

From the conservatory, step into the comfortable sitting room and then straight ahead into the well-equipped kitchen, which leads to the bright and airy dining room.

From the sitting room, the staircase takes you upstairs to the three bedrooms, all overlooking the enclosed lawned gardens and surrounding fields, as well as the family bathroom.

Outside, fields surround the property, so the children and dog-walkers will be spoilt for choice on where to explore.

There is also a shed that is helpful for the storage of bikes and walking equipment.

Only two miles away from Avallon is Penzance, a coastal town steeped in history with numerous cafés, restaurants and bars, as well as all the major supermarkets and individual shops.

You are also only a short drive from the dramatic beaches and fishing villages that this area of Cornwall is so famous for.

With so much to do and so many places to see, with a lovely quiet home to return to at the end of the day, Avallon is the perfect place for a Cornish holiday, at any time of year.

About the location

PENZANCE

St Ives 8 miles.

One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas. The spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves, winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by causeway to the shore at Marazion is the National Trust’s stunningly beautiful St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens. Walk across at low water and take one of the ferry boats back when the tide is up. Penzance with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Scilly Isles. The South West Coast Path passing through Penzance winds its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End. On the way, stop off for a coffee and a rest at beautiful Lamorna Cove, explore the open air Minack Theatre and marvel at the cliffs as you approach Gwennap Head. A stunning walk for those seeking solitude, exercise and some of the UK’s best coastal scenery. Penzance is the perfect holiday base. Ideally placed for exploring this land of Celtic myth and legend and with enough to do and see in the immediate area to keep all the family occupied.
